    Look here young'n, you need to stay out 4 weeks at a time for 2 days off. I'm tired of you baby drivers crying about time off.

    It was fun while it lasted. Leaving the house is the hardest part of the whole job.

    Another reason to love paper logs. Practically the last thing I do is start my truck, then I get out and check lights and then we're gone!

    Day 1 of hometime this time was July 4th. Got up at 0330, drove through the stronghold of the communist state while they slumbered. 475 miles.

    Got the cats unloaded, went to store, ate steak, baked potato, beer, and inhaled half a watermelon for some reason.

    Day 2 of hometime this time got up at 0600 made delivery down on south side, scanned BOL's. Stopped and got wrench to check brake adjustment. Brakes were perfect.

    Inhaled more watermelon. Now switching to salad, brussel sprouts, baked potato, steak, beer, and computer games for the day.

    Operations manager said I have already used 36 hours of my home time.

    Day 3 of home time this time.

    Took truck down to wrench ( he's actually wrench #2, not be confused with 'wrench' ), had APU finished. Paid Form 2290 as well.

    Once again, this is money that should have been used at the casino, where I could have probably tripled it this time, had truck paid for, and enough left over for a cat woman.

    I asked the operations manger if I could be compensated for my time. He said be thankful you have a job.

    Meanwhile the cats are enjoying their home time this time...………………..
